Your Story

First we plan. We want to challenge stereotypes and create more positive images of more diverse families. In other words we will seek the truth!

To help me to see "family" from your point of view could you answer by email or phone (0784 072 6363) the following?

1. Which LGBTQ stereotypes annoy or concern you? ( We will explore/challenge or avoid them.)

2. You see many LGBTQ narratives in the media - which stories are missing? ( My job is to construct better or new narratives.)

3. If you promoted a positive image of LGBTQ parents and children - what would that message be? (If you tell me with words I will work out how to say it with photography.)

The Shoot

Most shoots last for about 2 hours. My work is candid, but not entirely left to chance! So if I see great light or gorgeous composition I may ask you to play in the best spot. I am not into forced poses but help is on hand if needed. I like to chat through your story and work out how to represent that with images. The images above were all taken in natural light - the sofa, the bed or kitchen. I spend time watching you. This is art work not a high street studio!

The Edit

High end re - touching is not standard though if you get a spot - that I can disappear of course!

Your Choice

All of the families I shoot for want to buy some images. This helps me to make a living and we "cap" prices. I can print and gift wrap if it is a present but why not buy high resolution files for £50 each, or we bundle them:

20 =£250

30 = £350

or the whole folder for £400)

This way you may print as desired and make a family album, send them to relatives, even write a blog.

Your shoot is free.

GDPR : Here you may opt in or out and even change your mind at a later stage! I will also ask your permission about images I wish to use and I know we cannot place shots of adopted children on social media.
